Talk about banchan heaven! No matter how few people are in your party, you still get 18 little plates of fried, steamed, blanched, what have you, goodies, plus a bowl of cold noodle soup to start. They have everything here -- your traditional BBQ, shabu, appetizers.... with such a huge menu, it's tough to order, but I like their ride cakes, seafood pancake, and soups. Servers here are super nice.

There's a bit of waiting, even with reservations, but you really can't go wrong here for Korean food. The most banchan I've ever seen and a huge menu full of incredibly tasty options. AYCE is best in the Bay Area too, but is outclassed by LA. Combine this with excellent service and there's almost no need to go anywhere else for Korean food. The Korean restaurants on Telegraph and Ohgane are worth checking out if the line is too long though, especially if you want places that are more specialized in certain dishes.

SO MANY SIDE DISHES... !! I'm a newb at KBBQ but was with a group of 7 and our Korean friend did all the ordering. And I loved all of the 6 or so plates! Such a big menu, so I'm sure all of it's good.

BEST BANCHAN EVER!!! I've never been to a korean restaurant that had so many!! For lunch, this place is a steal!!! Dishes range from about $7-15 but all include soup, rice, and banchan. For dinner and it can pretty busy, so unless you have reservations expect to wait. To do the AYCE BBQ everyone at your table has to order it. I found the meats to be eh. Better off just ordering items from the kitchen.

+ AYCE for $20 + great service + lots of banchan The food is decent. As expected, for $20 AYCE, the meat is not high quality, but they have beef, two kinds of pork, and two kinds of chicken to keep you satisfied. They definitely don't skimp on portions for AYCE so be prepared to go all out. The banchan spread is ridiculous. They first bring like 15 little white dishes filled with various pickled and non-pickled veggies. YUM. Then they give you a cold noodle soup. Then a spicy tofu stew. And of course, all the rice and lettuce you can eat with your meat. Only down side is they don't offer the steamed egg for free. Pork belly and beef were great. Definitely couldn't finish everything (but we did order 5 orders of meat between two people). The spicy pork was so so. Maybe I'm just partial to cooking my own meat. Towards the end of the evening, when it wasn't as busy, one of the waiters came by and regularly attended our grill. He was very nice and gave us tips here and there. We were one of the last tables out of the restaurant (they were already cleaning up and eating their dinners), but they were very gracious not to rush us. Great service!
